Method and Apparatus for Calculating Coronary Artery Calcium Score

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the identifying of the coronary artery includes identifying information on at least one of a left coronary artery (LCA), a left main coronary artery (LMCA), a left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), a proximal left anterior descending artery, a middle left anterior descending artery, a distal left anterior descending artery, a right coronary artery (RCA), a proximal right coronary artery, a middle right coronary artery, a distal right coronary artery, a posterior descending artery (PDA), and myocardium in the target image by using the artificial neural network.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the information includes information on at least one of a location, a shape, and a length of each of the left coronary artery, the left main coronary artery, the left anterior descending coronary artery, the proximal left anterior descending artery, the middle left anterior descending artery, the distal left anterior descending artery, the right coronary artery, the proximal right coronary artery, the middle right coronary artery, the distal right coronary artery, the posterior descending artery, and the myocardium.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the target image is a computed tomography (CT) image.

7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to identify information on at least one of a left coronary artery (LCA), a left main coronary artery (LMCA), a left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), a proximal left anterior descending artery, a middle left anterior descending artery, a distal left anterior descending artery, a right coronary artery (RCA), a proximal right coronary artery, a middle right coronary artery, a distal right coronary artery, a posterior descending artery (PDA), and myocardium in the target image by using the artificial neural network.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the information includes information on at least one of a location, a shape, and a length of each of the left coronary artery, the left main coronary artery, the left anterior descending coronary artery, the proximal left anterior descending artery, the middle left anterior descending artery, the distal left anterior descending artery, the right coronary artery, the proximal right coronary artery, the middle right coronary artery, the distal right coronary artery, the posterior descending artery, and the myocardium.

10. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the target image is a computed tomography (CT) image.
